Tis the season for holiday parties, gathering with old friends, enjoying a beverage at the bar, or gearing up to celebrate the turn of the calendar.

Do you want to make those things even more memorable? 

Think back to those events you've attended that stood out the most in your mind. There was something magical about them. Could be the setting, the people, the content, or even a different twist -- an unexpected surprise. You left and probably told a few people about your experience. Do you want to learn how to make the same impact?

Now you can learn to impact people the same way by learning how to incorporate magic into your repertoire. The skills learned in this short workshop will prove to open many social and professional doors. Learning the basics of magic will increase your confidence in front of crowds or in imbalanced one-on-one situations. You will learn how to control a story and a setting. Additionally, you will find that you are suddenly more memorable.
